<h1>Setting up Linux for Dialup PPP</h1>

I assume Slackware Linux. The version I tried is 3.0.

<h2> Slackware Installation</h2>

<ol>
  <li> When installing Slackware, choose to install the Networking
       disk set(<b>N</b>).
  <li> At the Networking disk set installer, choose to install
       PPP daemon.
</ol>

<h2>Configuration</h2>

All the procedures below has to be done by the superuser.

<ol>
  <li> Set up the DNS resolver.  Make <code>/etc/resolve.conf</code>
       look like below.
       <pre>
search cs.washington.edu washington.edu
nameserver 128.95.1.2
nameserver 128.95.1.4
       </pre>

  <li> Try connecting the departmental gateway using ordinary serial line.

       <pre>
       % seyon -modem /dev/cua1 
       </pre>

       At the seyon screen, type

       <pre>
       atdt6852730
       </pre>

       If everything is OK, this will connect you to oslo or hydra.
       If you have a problem, check the modem device name and
       modem initialization commands.

  <li> If serial line connection is OK, then we try PPP next.
       PPP connection is created using <code>/sbin/pppd</code>.
       Here is the basic setting.
       <pre>
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cua1 38400 connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v \
       "" "at" "OK" "atdt6852730" "38400" "\\d\\d\\d\\d" \
       "" "" "" "" ">" "login" "name: " "<em>yourname</em>" "word: " \
       "<em>password</em>" ">" "ppp default"' defaultroute
       </pre>
</ol>
